Public Comments:

OCISO recommends that comments be disabled. Even moderated comments pose a risk to the CDC network, since each of the comments have to be opened and evaluated by someone on a CDC network computer. There is no way to moderate the comments without the moderator’s system being in jeopardy. However, not allowing comments on blog posts and other content not only is contrary to the very nature of these peer-to-peer communications platforms and thereby reducing the site’s effectiveness, often a negative backlash is encountered, which undermines the effectiveness of our communications efforts.

From a communications perspective, we recommend allowing comments, but having all comments moderated. A special computer off the CDC network will be required to manage and maintain the site. This necessitates the purchase of separate hardware and connection to the Internet.
